PROVO, Utah-Friday, BYU men’s basketball head coach Mark Pope announced today that Caleb Lohner, the former Wasatch Academy star, signed a scholarship agreement to play with the Cougars.

The 6-9 Lohner’s father, Matt Lohner, played at BYU under head coach Roger Reid from 1991-1992 and 1994-1996.
Lohner joins fellow freshman Hunter Erickson ( a returned Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints missionary from Timpview High School), graduate transfers Brandon Averette (Utah Valley) and Matt Haarms (Purdue) and junior college transfers Gideon George (New Mexico Junior College) and Spencer Johnson (Salt Lak Community College) as newcomers to the roster.
